Linking Formal and Informal Learning

Generations are changing and technology is becoming a huge part in todays society especially schools. Teachers all over are including technology use in their classroom whether its to show a video for a class or ask students to do something online. Many students are able to engage with other students through WIFI and complete their homework online which allows them to not have to worry about leaving their homework online. For those students who ride a school bus to school, WIFI has been provided so they are able to study while being on their devices. Technology can support learning outside of school in other ways as well—for example, by providing opportunities for sustained intellectual engagement.

Organizations that support online learning, Computer Clubhouse, Black Girls Code, 5th Dimension, code.org, and the Digital Youth Network

Teachers are able to use this information to create lesson plans around more technology used activities. Also, teachers are able to assign homework online which would save time from grading. Which is not only beneficial for the teachers but parents as well. This allows parents to keep up with their childs academic achievements and standings in class.
